I've been here almost since 4chan's inception. I realize it's fun to shorthand people in debates and respond with totally non-committal non-answers, I mean any response is a victory of sorts that way, but there's a time and place, and such a thing as tact too. This willful idiocy, itself a parallel to lolsorandom humor redolent of a certain website, does contribute to a constant and growing erosion in the quality of discourse possible here. And so I have to ask, if your only intention is to ruin the forum, not actually discuss anything, why do you browse it at all? My best guess is you don't know, and that you're just another in countless phoneposters and newfags (this used to be descriptive, a slur in jest, but now...) who more than likely do in fact frequent reddit and view 4chan as some kind of disposable place to prod and piss on and vandalize. Such behavior is not even fit to wear the name fag.

O.W.: I hate Woody Allen physically, I dislike that kind of man.

H.J.: I’ve never understood why. Have you met him?

O.W.: Oh, yes. I can hardly bear to talk to him. He has the Chaplin disease. That particular combination of arrogance and timidity sets my teeth on edge.

H.J.: He’s not arrogant; he’s shy.

O.W.: He is arrogant. Like all people with timid personalities, his arrogance is unlimited. Anybody who speaks quietly and shrivels up in company is unbelievably arrogant. He acts shy, but he’s not. He’s scared. He hates himself, and he loves himself, a very tense situation. It’s people like me who have to carry on and pretend to be modest. To me, it’s the most embarrassing thing in the world—a man who presents himself at his worst to get laughs, in order to free himself from his hang-ups. Everything he does on the screen is therapeutic.

I spend far too much time on the computer and the web, but I'm terrified of how bored I'd be without vegging out in front of a screen every spare moment I have. I haven't read a book in weeks and haven't written anything in even longer, but I still end up feeding this addiction of mine.

So I keep going through all sorts of excuses about why I'm not doing what I want to do when it just comes down to being pathetic and weak-willed, not because I don't have the right kind of tools or whatever reason I give at any moment.

Yeah I fucking thought not
